Ethylmethylamine

Ethylmethylamine (CAS 624-78-2), also referred to as N-methylethylamine, is a secondary aliphatic amine used as a reactive building block and process chemical.

Where is Ethylmethylamine used?

• Pharmaceutical synthesis: alkylating agent or amine source in the preparation of API intermediates
• Personal care: conditioning agents and buffering components where pH management is critical
• Flavor chemistry: construction of nitrogen-containing aroma compounds targeting specific taste profiles
• Specialty resins and coatings: curing agent or crosslinker
• Its secondary amine functionality makes it a practical intermediate for synthesizing active compounds and functional additives.

Good to know: Handled under inert conditions due to its volatility and reactive nature. Buyers should confirm concentration and stabilizer content with suppliers before purchase.

Commercial specifications

• Bulk drums or isotanks
• Technical grade standard; high-purity grades for pharmaceutical and flavor applications
